Even though it’s Tuesday today, we’ll be open from 2-5pm to give last-minute Xmas gift shoppers some comfort, hope and solace after a bout of panic and despair.

We’ll also maintain regular hours tomorrow (Christmas – Merry Xmas everybody!) and the day after (Boxing Day). That is, we’ll be open from 1.30-7.30pm at Burlington Square.

You ask why we’ve suddenly become so diligent. Opening on Christmas is crazy and pointless, you say. We say it’s because Christmas is a time of sacrifice and so, in the spirit of sacrifice, we’ll plant ourselves in the shop even though we don’t really celebrate Christmas, have very few presents to unwrap (if any at all) and generally don’t have an active social life.
